If God gives us STONY paths .. He will give us GOOD shoes ....God has no problems ...ONLY plans. .. I read this in a mothers inspirational book today and LOVED it !!! Not to mention was able to use one of my pics for the title picture... YAY !!!


Day 2 Picture ... I found this old shell.... I took pictures of all sides... YOU cant really see it but its very weathered and has little holes in it.  Prompted me to hold it feel it ...TOUCH it and appreciate the textures of it and the edges etc..  I then thought ..WOW wonder where it came from. What journey it had been thru to be now in my hands.. What it survived .. made me feel thankful. So this i will write in my book for Day 2.. I have now placed it at the end of my desk (shell) desk that is a constant project LOL .. BUT it has a home...and FREE 90 FREE cant put a price on that kind of beauty or GIFT from GOD .............The simple things.......


There is my shell desk that I have been working on for awhile.. It is all the shells over the years that i have saved or kids have given to me etc... Special vacations you name it . PRICELESS to me ..

The shell now has a home on my desk for me to admire and ponder where it came from and what JOURNEY it took to get here...............  (knowing full well its a gift from GOD )


Now Little Jelly  - Bean has been part of it all !!!!!!  She is for sure My little gift from GOD !!! OMGOSH who knew she could be such a JOY and bright spot in life .. LOVE little Jelly


She is not RUSTY but she sure is a PEARL (a PEARL to me is all things special)

I will close with this ....

I am ever so near you, hovering over your shoulder, reading every thought . People think that thoughts are fleeting and worthless, but yours are precious to me.  (says the LORD) ..

Isnt that awesome to think about GOD being near us .. I really do feel like I know GOD . I talk to him daily . I do have a relationship with him.  I loved when I read this .. Made me feel accountable for my thoughts and more conscious of my thoughts.. OUT with the YUCKY and only putting positive in sort of thing. ........................Thanks for following along.. HUGS and going to start a paint project this week YAY ................................... GOD bless and have a great rest of the day ...

TOODLEPIP !!!!!!!

    I "talk" to God all the time, too, Sherry. I know that He has my life in His hands but I also don't always understand the WHY of things.
    Love that sweet little kitty face and the shell- xo Diana

    As we say around here Sherry, "ain't God good!" What a wonderful reminder that God is all around us...everything we have comes from him...the shell.. little jelly bean...all of it! I love saying you began your post with...."if God gives us stony paths; He will give us good shoes..." I am going to use that one...Thanks for the cheer! Blessings! Pattie Cake..lol

    What a beautiful shell! Yes, you can see she has been through some things.....a little worn, not as smooth as she use to be, but strong and has endured! I see a "crown" on her....wiser but still majestic to those around her. Learning a lot from a shell and passing to the next generation.....feeling GODS presence like never before.....beautiful post, Sherry~ Blessings~~~~Roxie

    If only everyone were so expressive of their faith! I, too, talk to the Lord throughout the day. I think it delights Him to hear our little thoughts, questions and prayers - the ones that seem insignificant to us.

    I'm your newest follower. Hugs from Oklahoma!

    XOXO,

    You've given us many good thoughts to think about today. I particularly like the first quote about God giving us good shoes if we have to walk a stony path. I'll have to try and remember that one.

    Blessings to you! :)

    What a neat shell! I want some big white coral, I love it when I see it in Ballard Designs and stuff, but I have nothing beach-y at all. It would look pretty in a grouping with your shell!

    Such a cool seashell! I've always loved collecting shells when I am at the beach (which unfortunately isn't all that often). So neat to think about where the shell has been and how old it is.

    Love the photo of Jelly Bean! She is just the cutest!

    Hi Sherry
    I just found you via Tammy's blog and am thrilled that i did! What a great seashell you found. I love old buildings and wonder about them as well and what stories they would tell. Jelly Bean is adorable. Your Faith is amazing and I loved your words today. God is awesome!

    Have a great day!
